The Supreme Court will soon issue decisions in cases targeting social media, the FTC's in-house authority to challenge mergers, and the legality of President Biden's $500 billion student debt cancellation program. These decisions will have a major impact on the liability risk facing digital platforms and current and potential FTC challenges to pending mergers (including Microsoft-Activision, Illumina-Grail, and Amazon-iRobot).
The student debt cancellation ruling will have major fiscal impacts and significant political implications for the Biden Presidency.
We'll quickly cover these key Supreme Court catalysts as the Justices are poised to release a wave of decisions in the weeks ahead. The Court completes the current term at the end of June.
